Man, this company have a rep huh? I was cautiously optimistic.

There's a whole lawsuit going on right now about workplace harassment, so you can get a real good cross section of them. It's comical how terrible they are.

idk about QD, but i'm pretty hyped about the new Space Marine game

Well damn.

sounds like a few game companies have issues. The one I heard was Ubisoft.

It's a franchise I'd almost abandoned but the guy who killed Telltale games is making a game. Maybe quality franchises attract quality people. ahaha...

Ultra-Smurfs are back! And with Tyranids this time, so I guess we're going even more Musou.
This looks like good fun, although I do wonder if they're going to try to have a real story this time.

It's been a rough few years for ethical videogame consumption. Ubisoft. EA. Blizzard/Actvision. Rockstar. Naughty Dog. Quantic Dream. Gearbox (Now there's a fun one, look up Randy Pitchford). Not all of them sexual harrasment, though. There's a few that just have massive unpaid overtime 80 hour weeks.

If it had a real story I'd personally be disappointed. You don't play Space Marine for the lore, you play it for STRATEGIC VALUE ABSOLUTE and Grimskull shouting SPEHSS MARINE and smacking ork faces into next week with the Thunder Hammer.

Also on the subject of Star Wars, calling QD a "game developer" would first require calling the media they put out "videogames".

[Mattias]

Type-Moon counts, so who are we throw stones?


Calling QD anything else also feeds the delusion that they're actually interactive films and not just shitty games.

[Ideofago]

Nobody calls Type-Moon a game developer though.

Type Moon isn't a developer themselves, though. They outsource all their videogame projects.

[Draconic]

Still, at this point, Blizzard is the one to watch for the shitshow considering that it's looking like it might be about to crash and burn. I mean, the FBI was investigating the CEO, and to my (admittedly limited knowledge) it would only be doing that over something like selling stocks with foreknowledge that their value is about to plummet, and it's been a few months now, so they're overdue for both their next company scandal and their next instance of blatantly insulting their customers right to their faces, since the execs almost seem to have a competition going of Who Can Do The Worst Thing.

The wait is intense...

[Mattias]

So apparently after 9 years, and with the movies coming out soon, there's a PS4 and Switch port of Mahoyo coming soon.

Doubt it will be in english, but who knows?

Of course not

In Showa American Story, the United States has become an unofficial colony of Japan.

lmao

[Ideofago]

This is some dangerous geopolitics goldmine.

[Nanashi(kari)]

I will now play your game.

[ResidentSeagull]

I am horrified, yet intrigued.

Secret Z Saver Lotto Number discovered in Battle Network 4
No one knew this existed, god. Not even in Japan.

[Deathhappens]

I, too, enjoyed Red Alert 3.

Ok nevermind, that first line in the trailer was just Kill Bill, straight up.
